These DISCLOSURE & forward-looking statements include, without limitation, expectations with respect to future performance of the Company, including projected financial information (which is not audited or reviewed by the Company’s auditors), and the future plans, operations and opportunities for the FORWARD LOOKING Company and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are based on the current expectations and beliefs of the Company’s management concerning future developments and their potential effects on us taking into account information currently available to STATEMENTS us and are not predictions of actual performance. There can be no assurances that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: the demand for the Company’s services together with the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors or changes in the business environment in which the Company operates; changes in consumer preferences or the market for the Company’s services; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the availability of competition for opportunities for expansion of the Company’s business; difficulties of managing growth profitably; the loss of one or more members of the Company’s management team; and other risks and uncertainties described or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Company’s reports (including all amendments to those reports) filed from time to time with the SEC, including the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-KA for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the Company’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021..

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, they could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements.

Use of Projections This Investor Presentation contains financial forecasts, including with respect to estimated revenues, net income, Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Unlevered After-Tax Free Cash Flow, Levered After-Tax Free Cash Flow and Unlevered After-Tax Free Cash Flow Conversion. OSW’s independent auditors did not audit, review, compile, or perform any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this Investor Presentation, and accordingly, did not express an opinion or provide any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this Investor Presentation. These projections should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. In this Investor Presentation, certain of the above-mentioned estimated information has been repeated (subject to the qualifications presented herein), for purposes of providing comparisons with historical data. The assumptions and estimates underlying the DISCLOSURE, prospective financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. CONTINUED Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the prospective results are indicative of the future performance of OSW or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the prospective financial information. Inclusion of the prospective financial information in this Investor Presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), this Investor Presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Unlevered After- Tax Free Cash Flow, Levered After-Tax Free Cash Flow and Unlevered After-Tax Free Cash Flow Conversion, which may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. OSW believes that the presentation of non-GAAP measures provides information that is useful to investors as it indicates more clearly the ability of OSW to meet capital expenditure and working capital requirements and provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends. These non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, and not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are certain limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures versus their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparisons with other companies. Please see our most recent Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020 for further details on how we define these non-GAAP financial measures. Industry and Market Data In this Investor Presentation, OSW relies on and refers to information and statistics regarding market shares in the sectors in which it competes and other industry data. OSW obtained this information and statistics from third-party sources believed to be reliable, including reports by market research firms. OSW has supplemented this information where necessary with information from discussions with its customers and its own internal estimates, taking into account publicly available information about other industry participants and its management’s best view as to information that is not publicly available. OSW has not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of any such third-party information. PRIVILEGED, PROPRIETY AND CONFIDENTIAL 3

Our Focus on People We believe how we manage our relationships with our employees, with the staff and guests of our cruise and destination resort partners, with the teams of our suppliers, and with the communities where we operate is ONESPAWORLD, THE fundamental to the success of our operations. And we believe our leadership team’s accountability to our employees and our shareholders is critically important to our business. As the pre-eminent global operator of PREEMINENT GLOBAL health and wellness services onboard cruise ships and destination resorts, our people are essential to the performance of our operations, the long-term success of our Company and the value we deliver to our HEALTH AND WELLNESS shareholders. Our thousands of highly trained and resourced staff, guided by our corporate team, are core to that SERVICES COMPANY performance and success, as they provide extraordinary personal care experiences to millions of our cruise ship and destination resort partners’ guests. The unquantifiable adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and our gradual ongoing return to service has evidenced the critical importance of our people across every aspect of our business. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we have focused first and foremost on the health and safety of our employees. At the onset of the pandemic, we had over 3,220 of our staff serving aboard 170 cruise ships operating around the world. Upon the cessation of virtually all cruise ship operations in March 2020, we coordinated immediately with our cruise line partners to return every member of our shipboard staff to their home in one of 89 countries around the world in whatever means and at whatever cost required to do so. We are grateful to our cruise line partners for their caring for our staff as if their own during this time of threat to the safety and security of our people and theirs. Since our cruise line partners began returning their cruise ships to operation in September 2020, over 2,500 of our pre-pandemic staff have returned to us, who now serve on or are preparing to serve on 170 operating ships. We expect to have over 80% of our pre-pandemic staff return to service on 178 operating ships by year end. Again, evidence of our commitment to the welfare and wellbeing of our people, and its impact on our Company’s success and the value we deliver to our shareholders. With the onset of yet another unforeseeable global crisis, we have mobilized our corporate and onboard teams to support our staff impacted by the hostilities in Ukraine. We have enabled our Ukrainian staff who have returned to service to elect to remain onboard, or to be repatriated to their homes at our cost through a gateway city of their choosing. And we have contacted all Ukrainian members of our staff who have not yet returned to service, offering to promptly transport them to the safety of our shipboard facilities. As evidenced by these commitments and initiatives in support of our people, we continue to imagine, develop and undertake strategies, policies and procedures across our Company, including programs to increase employee diversity, ensure a respectful workplace, and invest in our communities, in our ongoing investment to advance the interests of all of our stakeholders.
